Man Utd could sign Donyell Malen in a swap for Jadon Sancho
manchester united could sign talented Borussia Dortmund attacker Donyell Malen in a swap for out-of-favor winger Jadon Sancho, according to a report from Spanish publication Transfers.
The curious case of Sancho is a topic that has been around the Red Devils for quite some time. first city of manchester The graduate did not hesitate when Manchester United came calling in 2021 and moved to Old Trafford. in a deal worth £73m.
When United signed him, Sancho was universally regarded as one of the brightest young talents in world football and arguably the greatest English talent in existence. United fans had high hopes for this signing, but it is fair to say that things have not gone as expected.
Sancho scored 50 goals and 68 assists in 138 appearances during his first spell at Dortmund. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old was hardly able to regain that kind of form in the Red Devils jersey. He now finds himself back at the German club, on loan for the rest of the season.
Does he have a future at Man Utd?
The biggest problem that Sancho had at Old Trafford was that he had a fight with the coach Erik ten Hag and the duo disagreed. There doesn't seem to be any chance in the future of Sancho considering playing under the Dutch manager.
That said, Erik ten Hag's future at the club is far from certain considering their disappointing campaign and new ownership changes. If INEOS decides to sack the former Ajax manager and hire a new coach, Sancho could be offered a second chance at the club.
However, as things stand, Sancho has no future at Man Utd, so another exit is likely to take place this summer and Transfers says Dortmund sporting director Seb Kehl has outlined his plan to keep the winger in Germany.
The report says Dortmund would ideally like to extend Sancho's loan next season, but a potential swap deal involving Donyell Malen has “been mooted” between the clubs. The 25-year-old Dutch striker has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months, so a swap deal involving Sancho could work out well for all parties.
Malen would add offensive oomph to the Red Devils and is capable of filling multiple positions. In 31 games for Dortmund this season, Malen scored 13 goals and provided four assists. Transfermarkt Malen Values around £30 million but if Sancho took the opposite path, a direct exchange of players could be agreed between the two clubs.
Assuming Erik ten Hag stays on as United manager, he would love to sign his compatriot at Malen, and the duo could work well at Manchester United. This is a transfer There are plenty of ifs and buts to that, but the 25-year-old Dortmund attacker is an interesting option for the Red Devils to explore. Let's wait and see how it turns out.
